POWER THE WEATHER STATION: The Weather Station can be powered by the 5-volt a/c adapter or batteries. A/C power adapter: Insert enclosed 5-volt a/c power adapter into a wall outlet, then into the Weather Station. Battery Compartment 5-Volt a/c adapter Batteries: 1. Remove battery cover: Slide tab to the right and pull out to remove battery cover. 2. Install three fresh AA batteries according to the polarity markings.
WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME The NIST radio station, WWVB, is located in Ft. Collins, and transmits the exact time signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz. The signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away through the internal antenna in the Weather Station. However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The Weather Station will search for a signal every night when reception is best.
Button Press and Release Functions Hold 3-5 seconds SET Move through program menu Confirm setting. Enter program menu, set time, date, etc.
DAYLIGHT SAVING INDICATOR: DST will default to the ON position as most of the country observes the DST change. If you live in an area does not observe the DST change, switch this to the OFF position. DST 1. DST and ON will flash. 2. Press and release the +/RCC or -/°C/°F button to turn DST to OFF. 3. Confirm with the SET button and move to 12/24 hour time format. ON 12 OR 24 HOUR TIME FORMAT: The Time may be displayed in 12-hour or 24-hour format. Default is 12-hour time.
ALARM SET: Hold the ALARM button for 5 seconds to enter the alarm time set mode. 1. The alarm hour digit will flash. 2. Press and release the +/RCC or -/°C/°F button to select the hour. 3. Press and release the SET button to set the minutes. The minute digits will flash. 4. Press and release the +/RCC or -/°C/°F button to select the minutes. 5. Confirm with the SET button and exit. 6. The alarm icon will show above the minutes indicating the alarm is active. 7.
BACKLIGHT: A/C adapter: The backlight can show continuously when operating the Weather Station with the 5-volt a/c adapter. 1. HIGH: The backlight is defaulted to HI (brightness) when the a/c adapter is in use. 2. LO: Press and release the LIGHT HI/LO button to dim the brightness of the backlight. 3. Press and release the LIGHT HI/LO button again to return to full strength (HIGH). Note: When the Adapter is NOT in use, the High/Low backlight feature is not available. 1.
LCD SCREEN: The LCD screen is split into 5 sections displaying the information for time, calendar, weather forecast, indoor data, and outdoor data. MIN/MAX TEMPERATURE/HUMIDTY DATA: This Weather Station features daily minimum and maximum temperatures each day starting at midnight (12:00 AM). The Weather Station automatically resets the min/max temperatures at midnight (12:00 AM).
HEAT INDEX: Heat Index combines the effects of heat and humidity. It is the apparent temperature of how hot it feels to a human being. When relative humidity increases, the air feels warmer than it actually is because your body is less able to cool effectively by evaporation of perspiration. Note: Heat index will be the same number as the temperature until the temperature is above 80 degrees °F (26.7°C).
7. When RF connection is established, the respective temperature & humidity for each of the selected channels will appear on the main unit. 8. Allow the transmitters and the Weather Station to stay 5-10 feet apart for 15 minutes to establish a solid connection. 9. Install the battery covers on each sensor. 10. After 15 minutes place the remote transmitters in appropriate locations (see “position the outdoor transmitter”).
